"When technology advances, the farmer suffers," the saying goes, but we live in a world where speed is paramount and new items appear that "use" something, that we probably buy and that we will never use.
A page-turner... I imagined a hand stuck to some part of the book and every so often with its fingers, moving on to the next page. What crazy things, right?
However, since there is nothing hidden between the sky and Google, I set out to search to find out what it was, finding articles of many shapes and colors. From those that are placed on the ground and operated with the feet, to some in the form of rings that go to the middle phalanx of the index finger.
It can certainly be useful to those who have a tablet or an Ipad on a music stand and play an instrument with both hands; In this way, they can turn the "page" without having to stop playing their favorite instrument or also change the page of a book they are reading on an android television from a comfortable sofa in the living room of the house.
Sometimes I wonder if technology brings us greater comfort or is it just a way of making us more sedentary and dependent on things like this every day.
Anyway, I don't think I need something like this nor do I think I will use them.
